Here is why:
Distributed computing is usually a good idea when computing takes more time
than data transmission. Otherwise it just does not make sense to transmit
the data rather then just computing it right at the place where it is
needed.
What is probably needed for OSM in the long run is some kind of
geographically distributed rendering e.g. rendering divided by continent.
Good aspect Sven, bus as you say, it would be nesessary to send out
bigger chunks (say per country) but how can we easily keep them up to
date at the clients?
IMHO you miss one aspect, that is currently we only offer 4 map styles,
but as we know, there could be done a lot more (specific to activity
(hiking, riding by car, emergency), by country map style (US, DE, ...),
by country name label space (US, DE, ...). Of course I have no concept
but we might even think about a distributed filtering API, to make it
possible for everyone to request world wide POI-maps?
